In today’s world, wealth does not reflect one’s intelligence, but it is about taking opportunity. Teachers are smart, but most of them are not rich. In the modern economy, opportunities are everywhere, and success only comes to those who make the most of them. Opportunity comes in many forms, as inheritance from the family, a business opportunity or just winning the lottery. Richest men in the world are people who do business, not scientists or inventors. A study of Jay Zagorsky, a research scientist at Ohio State University's Center for Human Resource Research, shows that there is no relationship between IQ and wealth. People with high IQ face as much financial problems as low IQ people do.
Besides, with the influence of the media, one does not have to be smart to get rich. The celebrities’ world today is full of people who do not have good education. In sports, players in the EPL or NBA are highly paid. What they do have no relation with intelligence. All it takes are fame, beauty and talents.
In conclusion, there are rich people who are smart, but not all of them. Having low IQ is being handicapped and high IQ means advantage, but it does not tell anything about one's wealth. With globalization, it takes more than just intelligence to achieve success.
